So far I would say IUD insertion. I've had food poisoning and broke my arm, but this was way more uncomfortable. It's a very different kind of pain than an injury outside your body, and your whole uterus just cramps up. I had to lay down the entire day with a heat pack after taking a ton of ibuprofen. The parts that are painful are the clamps and the actual insertion. The clamps grab on to your cervix to hold it still and straight, OUCH. Then the IUD is inserted into your cervix. (Guys, imagine metal clamps grabbing your penis by it's head and pulling it straight before they shove a Q-tip up your urethra.)
Really? I have an IUD and I really didn't find it that bad (no pain meds or anaesthetics whatsoever). Like I wouldn't even compare it to breaking my arm.
I don't doubt that yours hurt like a bitch, but I also thought I should share incase someone reading this is considering one. I would hate for them to be deterred. The cramps each month are kind of annoying, but totally worth it.
